extremely long, and that we appeared to travel over hundreds of miles. Calmed by the sound of the carriage
wheels, I fell asleep. But I had not slept long when the carriage stopped, the door was opened, and I saw a
servant standing there.
"Is there a little girl called Jane Eyre here?" she asked. I answered "Yes," and was then lifted out. I looked
about me. I could see a house with many windows. There were lights burning in some of them. We went up
a wide path, and were admitted at a door. Then the servant led me through a passage into a room where she
left me I stood and warmed my frozen fingers at the fire and looked around. There was no candle, but the
light for the fire showed wails, a carpet, curtains and furniture. Then the door opened, and a tall lady entered
followed by another who looked younger. "The child is very young to be sent alone," said she, putting her
candle down on the table.
Led by the younger lady, Miss Miller, through passage after passage, we came, at last to a long, wide room
filled with many voices. There were many tables, and seated all round on benches were a large number of girls
aged from nine to twenty. Seen in the dim (微弱的) light of the candles, their number appeared above eighty.
Each was dressed in a brown old fashioned dress of cheap material. It was their hour of study.
Miss Miller signed to me to sit on a bench near the door, then walking up to the top of the long room she
cried out "Monitors, collect the lesson-books and put them away!"
Four tall girls arose and went round, gathered the books and removed them. Miss Miller again ordered,
"Monitors, fetch the supper-trays (托盘)!" Then tall girls went out and returned soon, each carrying a big tray.
Food and water was in the middle of each tray. The food was handed round and everyone drank from the
same mug. When it came to my turn, I drank too, for I was thirsty, but I did not touch the food. From there
I was taken to my hard bed where I thankfully fell asleep immediately.

in the sand.
Now the coast has a strangely-pleasant and relaxing attraction. I look forward to a windy clifftop (崖顶)
walk or a rainy day rockpicking just as much as those rare moments when I get to a short sleep in the sun. But
there"s nothing more pleasurable than turning up at a beach to find it deserted.
These are my favorite secret beaches-ones either not well known or take a bit of effort to get to. Most of
those listed scored highly in the Marine Conservation Society Good Beach Guide 2009; the others are too secret
even for them.
Sennen Cove is just a mile northeast of Land"s End, the westernmost point of mainland England. It"s a
beautiful spot, with white sands, deep green sea and amazing sunsets over the Isles (群岛) of Scilly, 28 miles
away.
The west-facing beach is popular with surfers, with bigger waves and winds often found at the Gwenver
end. There"s a beach restaurant with good views of the bay and the sunsets.
The smallest of Isles of Soilly, Bryher is a mile long, half a mile wide-and a natural wilderness of unbelievable
scenery. Walk along the narrow sandy roads to the eastern seaboard and you come to two quiet beaches.
Green Bay has views over to the palm (棕榈]) trees of Tresco"s Abbey Gardens, and a little further south is
Rushy Bay, a beautiful beach facing the deserted island of Samson.
On Bryher, farm shops sell locally grown produce, and they trust you to leave the money in the pot. It"s that
kind of place.
B. The author likes walking on a windy clifftop most.
C. The author wrote the article to advertise for the beaches.
D. The author loves beaches that are not known to most people.
SC= Sennen Cove IS= the Isles of Scilly)
B. Samson is an island on which no man lives
C. Rushy Bay has views over to the palm trees
D. Green Bay is situated to the south of Rushy Bay
B. The Beautiful British Isles
C. The Most Pleasurable Place in Britain
D. My Experience of Searching Beaches
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
since every region has its own traditional foods. For example, Scottish cuisine is famous for its haggis (肉
馅羊肚), Aberdeen Angus beef, shortbread and whisky. Wales is well-known for its lamb and leeks (韭菜).
There are also dishes common to the whole UK as well. Almost everyone likes a full English breakfast
(fried eggs, bacon, sausage, baked beans, fried mushrooms and fried tomatoes) in the morning. Then there
is the Sunday roast (a roasted joint of meat, with roast potatoes, vegetables and gravy for lunch.)
With such a range of foods, why then did British cuisine have a bad international reputation for about 50
years (1950-2000)? One reason is that during and after World War 11, cooks in the UK were limited by the
ingredients they had to work with and therefore lost some of their traditional skills. Another is that British
food tends to be "heavy" because of the colder climate-Britons need big meals to keep the body warm.
Yet British cuisine has had a better reputation for tile last decade or so. One reason is that the wide range
of ethnic groups in the UK has given British cuisine new ingredients, flavors, "fusion (融合)" and techniques.
Sandwiches used to be the most popular. Curry, originally an Asian dish, is now the most popular food in
the UK.
Another reason for the improvement is climate change. The UK is much warmer now than 10 years ago.
Today, farmers can grow new herbs like coriander, to meet the demands of increased curry sales. In addition,
there has been a boom in growing garlic in Scotland.
One last reason is the large number of cookery programs on British television. British people are more
educated about food than ever before.
So what are the results? In 2009, British restaurants received more Michelin stars than in any other
previous year. The Michelin Guide (first established in France) sets the international standard for restaurant
cuisine. With so much good food to eat, perhaps it is not surprising that the UK now has an obesity problem.
across his fields of corn. Suddenly he saw a thin line of white smoke curling up out of his field, about 200 feet
from where he stood. As he went toward the smoke to see what it was, he heard a strange noise. The line of
smoke became bigger. It looked as if some great force were pushing it up into the sky.
The farmer rushed home to get his wife. While he was urging his wife to hurry from the house, the earth
shook violently. When he stood up after the earth stopped shaking, he looked across the field and saw that great
flames were rising from his cornfield. A volcano was being born!
They hurried across the shaking earth to the village of Particutin, which was toward their farm. They found
the village was seriously destroyed and the road from the village was filled with frightened people hurrying to
safety. Particutin did not become dark that night. The volcano lighted up the sky for miles around. Flames
rushed out of the ground. The volcano threw hot stones a thousand feet through the air. Great explosion shook
the earth and heavy black ashes fell from the sky, covering the roofs in Mexico city, 180 miles away.
But that was not all. On the third evening a float of lava (火山岩) began to boil up from the centre of the
volcano. It came over the edge in a heavy flow, 2 000 feet wide, and travelled slowly across the valley, bringing
certain death to everything that could not move from its path.

Eragon is just a regular farm boy in a land called Alagaesia-until he finds a dragon"s egg.
In the new movie Eragon, based on the book by Christopher Paolini, evil strangers working for an evil
king come looking for the egg and kill Eragon"s family. With the help of dwarfs, and Saphira the dragon,
Eragon must learn how to defeat the king and save his laud.
Designer Dragon
Animators (动漫画家) couldn"t exactly model Saphira after a real dragon. So they got inspiration from
animals. Michael McAlister says when Saphira is on the ground, she walks a little like a lion. In the air, she"s
a cross between a condor (秃鹰) and a fighter jet. And her eyes are part lizard, part dinosaur, and part human.
Success Story
Author Christopher Paolini started writing Eragon when he was 15 years old. Now 23, Paolini gives you
tips to achieve your dreams before you grow up!
-Research First
"Learn about what you want to do," Paolini says. He read books about creating characters and plots before
he started writing.
-Get Support
Paolini kept his writing a secret from everyone but his parents. That way, no one could tell him he was too
young to be an author. "Find people who will support and encourage you," he says.
-Practice
Whether they"re writers, musicians or athletes, successful kids put lots of energy into their talent. "To rise
to the top, make your skill your daily focus," Paolini says.
-Don"t Quit
"So many times when I was writing Eragon, I was an inch away from giving up," he says, "I"m so glad I
didn"t." Instead, he spent three and a half years writing and rewriting until it was ready for publication.
B. the struggle between a farm boy and some bad people
C. a boy"s interesting experience
D. an imaginary story between a farm family and a king
B. at most three

are homeless compete. The event has been held annually since 2003.
It was at the end of 2001 that Mel Young, a famous expert in the media industry, came up with the idea
of the Homeless World Cup. 18 months later the first event took place in Austria. It was such a success that
people decided to do more.
There are some interesting and special rules of the event. For example, players (male or female at least
16 years old) must have been homeless at some time after the previous year"s World Cup or make their main
living income by selling newspapers in the street or be asylum (政治避难) seekers. Anyone can take part,
regardless of his or her abilities.
There are at most 4 players per team to compete in the field. Games are 14 minutes long.
In 2007, 48 nations, 500 players took a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to represent their countries for true
spirit and glory in Copenhagen, Denmark. The winner in 2007 was Scotland. The 2008 Homeless World Cup
took place in Melbourne, Australia. And in 2009 it was held in Milan. The latest Homeless World Cup was
held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in September 2010. Paris 2011 Homeless World Cup takes place August followed
by the Mexico City 2012 Homeless World Cup.
The success of the competition has been in two aspects-to attract the world"s attention to the problems of
homelessness and also to help participants live a better life.
According to a survey by the Homeless World Cup Organization after 2006 Homeless World Cup, 92% of
the players had a new motivation for life, 93 players successfully got rid of their dependency on drugs and
alcohol, 44% improved their housing situation and 72% continued to play football.
